A most impressive caterpillar

 Gwen found an awesome-looking, hand-sized caterpillar today. It belongs to the cecropia moth - "North America's largest moth," according to Wikipedia. 


Look at the way it hangs from the branch! (There may be more on the way, judging from the larvae that were resting in a sack below. Look for them in the tree that's just behind the butterfly bush, near the blackberries.)
